Kaiten Mail vs K9 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I am so close to get Kaiten but I just want to hear you guys out. How is the app compared to K9? Is it really worth it?
I don't mind buying but I want to make sure that it really worth my bucks
Suggestions please XD

well its about the same to me really. lol
except kaiten seems to be updated very frequently

As far as i know Kaiten is developed by the people of K-9. In a review I saw that the functionality is basically the same. I would stick with K-9. Using it myself. No problems so far.

As others have said, it is much the same as K9 mail but looks prettier.
I was having problems with a K9 so tried this and like it better for the small fee.

Hey guys post your Y! names, if you want to run tests, or what ever seems like a fun and friendly thing do to.

I think kik messenger is a bit better choice imo, it seems a bit less intrusive to me

Kik doesn't do video chat, which is what I am guessing the OP is getting at
Ah ok, yeah...that thought kinda scares me..i did trade in my G2 for MT4G today but I'd rather keep the video chats to people I know

Looking for Fellow Developers for Xoom Tablet Notetaking App (FlatNote)

I'm looking for some experienced Android developers to assist me with a tablet note-taking app. I'm open-sourcing it under the Apache license, but probably will monetize it on the market.
The general idea is to be able to capture a lecture or meeting's audio, and put in text, graphic, and handwritten annotations. Then, when you are replaying the meeting or lecture, you visibly see a waveform of the audio with notes, images, etc. below, describing what is going on and providing more detail.
Notes will be grouped into sections. The app will be designed for API level 11 or higher.
Let me know if you're interested.
Fantastic! This is JUST the kind of app I'll be looking to use. Let me know and I'll gladly beta test for you and be a first day buyer. Good luck!
If you build just the handwriting portion and create a penultimate-like android version, I will buy

+1 to buying it!
Sounds like a good idea for meetings too. Could you insert bookmarks for notes for the audio? So if you're browsing the notes you can jump to that section of audio?

I had to stop as I don't have a xoom yet, I was working on it all last weekend. It will definitely start out as only a text based quick notes interface, then expand from there.

This would be a must have for any college xoom owner, +1 for buying the app
I'm having trouble seeing how this would be useful without an active digitizer and pen..
don't get me wrong, this could still be a very cool app and I hope you get it working
but I don't think I'll be straying from my windows tablet with onenote any time soon
if you got this working on the htc flyer on the other hand, we might have something I could use as my only note taking device for university.
I probably wouldn't buy the flyer anyway though. The xoom is just so much nicer
Edit: Before someone starts saying how I could just get a capacitive pen, you have no idea what you're missing until you've tried a wacom or n-trig pen(especially wacom). It's like night and day.

My roommate has a wacom... I know i can't compete with quality of handwriting on most hardware, but I can make the software easier to use. The easier the software, the better the notes will tend to be, plus I really want the audio to provide a lot of power, with the handwritten, typed, and other inserted notes only supplementing the audio and making it searchable/disoverable.
well.. I look forward to seeing what you come up with =]

i have a capacitive stylus for my ipad and it works beautifully for taking handwritten notes. Penultimate & note taker HD are the best ones imo
I'll buy the first app that rivals Penultimate.
I just looked up penultimate on youtube
it's definitely not bad
but it still doesn't rival onenote
not by a long shot
and I was surprised at well capacitive pens were working for people
but again, it still doesn't really come close to an active digitizer
now, I'm sure this app will still be great
and I could definitely see people using it to quickly describe something to someone or maybe for a few quick notes at a meeting
but there's no way it's going to be able to be used for taking notes at university
I'll stick with my fujitsu tablet
but like I said, I do look forward to seeing what this app will be able to do
it will definitely have it's uses
I've been thinking about making a note taking app myself it would be good to collaborate!

I've been "working on" a note taking app too I have drawn some designs for it and me and a few friends (all of us programmers, but no Android experience) are gonna try to get started on it.

Anyone else hyped about BBM's possible porting to Android?

I know I am.
Sent from my HTC Glacier running CM7 RC
Nope. Seems alot easier to just send a text message. No need to wonder if the person I'm trying to message has BBM or not.
I am...will be able to communicate with a lot more people. Some of my old BBM contacts didn't have unlimited text

Exactly! Or if you yourself don't have unlimited text, it works wonders! I'm stoked!
nope, don't really care at all..most people have unlimited texting now and BBM will probably die along with blackberry
If carriers don't charge extra for it then I'm hyped if they do then no kik messenger works fine for me.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Not really, no.
Maybe if it was a year or so ago. Back when I first got my Android phone in place of my blackberry I would have used it a lot. But just about everyone I used to talk to on BBM back then knows I never use it anymore and a lot of them don't use it anymore either.
Literally 2 of every three people I know use BBM religiously. I'd love for it to port to Android.
Sent from my HTC Glacier running CM7 RC
I'm not stoked for it. I don't know anyone who really uses BBM. Plus since I'm not a BB user I'm really interested in it. But i'm sure there are plenty of people who find some use for BBM.
Live Profile works fine for me.

This is what I hope for everyday. x)
When i had my blackberries, BBM was the hardest thing for me to leave behind. As i've matured in the world, and all things cell phone related. i have come to the point where BBM is not useful, it's pointless, and offers nothing that no one else currently offers. Will i download it? dunno? will i use it? most likely not, i only know one person with a blackberry. And he also has a Google Talk App on his phone. So... it's pointless.
I think it's RIM last stand against the two big platforms out there... I can just picture Bugs Bunny saying "eh... if you can't beat em.... join em "

I've owned a 8100, 8310, 8900, 9530, 9700. There is nothing that special about BBM. file sharing? EMail. Calendar sharing? Google Calendar. Memos sharing. SpringPad.
Everything can be done else where.

That's his point. Everything is elsewhere, but separate. When everything is together, its so much easier, you know? And plus, BBM takes us back to those AIM days lol.

Okay... okay ... you might have a valid point. But with Spring Pad/ Google Calendar/ google Talk, i do not have to worry about the BIS crashing and leaving everyone stranded. Or whomevers servers go down and leave that person out of the loop....
It's okay i know it's "more" work but i'll take the added bonus of not worrying about BIS crashing.

What do you have in store for your Chameleon home screens?

Hey Guys
I just wanted to hear your thoughts on what you hope to put onto your home screens when Chameleon does get released in August?
I've donated to the good cause and here is hoping it's going to look as good as some of those prototype video's I've seen, wow!
what do you think would be the most useful to put on each screen?
I personally would like to dedicate a screen to a terminal ssh widget (like airterm or better terminal emulator), ezpdf/picture viewer widget for diagrams, world clock, calculator, and perhaps email on one screen.
For the fun stuff on other screens: Browser, stickit, Pulse, tapatalk/xda, netflix, wikipedia, playerpro, whatsapp, Fb, G+. Solid explorer, youtube and alot more!
Im looking forward to this new development into the android tablet UI, there will be alot of interesting developement into intergrating/optimising current and new widgets for Chameleon. Ultimately it saves the hassle of constantly switching or opening new applications all the time, it will be there right at your finger tips and I have a good feeling that it should be on overal great experience.
I'm just hoping I didn't waste $10 and that it is actually released.
I'm pretty sure it will make it, $35000/50000 and 19 days to go. To think they got that much in about 11 days + they would probably extend it if it gets close to 50k
it will be released even if the budget is not met.
if the budget is met it just means it gets released earlier.
I backed the kickstarter for the Chameleon but I am not even sure if I will end up using it. It certainly seems interesting and the demo looked nice but my needs don't change with the time of day, at least not as far as my tablet is concerned.
Doesn't matter though, I enjoy supporting innovative ideas and it only cost $10. I spend less than that in lunch every day
Once it comes out, I'm gonna ask /g/ to set it up, they always have great theme ideas.

How can I survive a transformation to iPhone?

Hi all!
Been happy with my Android workphone for two and a half years now. But my ol' Desire is getting a bit tired and out of date. So I will get a new device soon.
But new corporate policy is that we only run iPhones as workphones. So my next will probably be an iPhone 5.
I know it´s a mighty fine handset I'll be getting but this ol' dog is a kind of a droidy dog. I´m clearly beeing thrown a bit outside my comfort zone here.
So I´ll gladly take any advice on how to handle the green abstinence, tips 'n tricks about managin' stuff in iOS and maybe the odd "hang in there".
Try to jailbreak it for one, sure it won't be exactly like android but it will be close enough and there are some pretty cool stuff you can do when you jailbreak your iphone. My friend was able to have an up and down scroll-able screen for his apps (kinda like the app drawer for gingerbread), as well as adding actual widgets.
Quit your job und change to a company which uses androids
Get the goophone i5 =P
Get a Goophone i5. But seriously why are they forcing the iPhone on you. I would try to convince them that it will slow your productivity since its slower to write emails/texts on because it doesn't have swype. I guess companies use iOS because its easier for new users and iOS never changes.

I deal with it by having an android tablet. My company iPhone is good to make calls, text, email, and web browse. Past that it is largely useless. I save $100/ month by not having the phone bill. It sucks but it is worth it.

For the people who likes to custom and improves better features in the devices, Iphone is not a good idea, but sometimes we need to accept... And maybe by a Galaxy S3 and enjoy both :good:

Objectivly speaking now, i think iphone might be morw than suited for work related stuff.
It will run the required apps, it will run them smoothly, and generally bug free (less bugs than a full on modified rom for android most likely) . What would you really be using it for? Work email, work calls, work texts.
You can always have a personal android phone for leisure, tinkering and gratifying personalization. The iphone will do what it can, and do it good. The android will do what you want.
Ever had a sex change? yeah thats pretty much the contrast here
Leave the job. The company is doomed anyway.
Get an android anyway. A policy like that sounds like you work at the apple store.
Put a case on it, and once in a while ask it questions to act like you have siri.
You can pull the wool over a sheep's eyes.
They can't tell you have an android because it functions like iphones, maps, web, txt, and call.
Also, are you paying for it or they are?
If you're paying get android.
If they pay. Well, ..... Nice knowing you.
